Shellac Cultivation Project for Self Employment in Tatters at Dakkhin Dinajpur
By Dipankar Mitra (TNI Balurghat) | TNI Editing Siliguri
Webdesk, TNI Balurghat, 29th June, 2017: The Shellac Cultivation for the Adivasi people with the intention of increasing their self-employment at Dakkhin Dinajpur is now in a shattered condition. The local people believe that it is because of the ignorance of local panchayat the project is not in a good shape. The project started in the year 2006 by the Chakra Bhrighu Gram Panchayat. The main intention of the project was to utilize the 100-day work and make the people self-dependent. Now the situation is like everyone trying to slam everyone for the failure. The Gram Panchayat Pradhan of Chak Bhrigu Smt. Sandhya Haldar told TNI that the beneficiaries are not so much active. They are not giving much time on the Shellac cultivation. At least plants costing Rs. 11 lakhs were bought. Now the plants are grown up yet those are dying due to inattention. Again 10 people were employed but of no avail. Currently, the state of the project is closed for the time being.
